<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So apparently stupidity on social media is not limited to the Western world...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Seems like a gold mine of info. I'm sure we're all over this guy and his network. Sure does seem dumb, at least on the surface of it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Makes me wonder if we have any undercover operatives on RP...although he came right out and listed his job...idiot. Hopefully that makes him easier to catch.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Taliban leader on LinkedIn!.<br />- Is anyone surprised that terrorists are leveraging social media, in some cases to significant positive effect for them?<br />- Most of the comments thus far portray the Taliban leader as stupid. I disagree with this assessment. Ask yourself the following questions: what is he trying to do? Who is he trying to target? What effect is he having? What risk is he placing himself in? We underestimate our enemy when our start position for analysis is that our enemy is stupid.<br />- The more important analysis stems from the above questions. Is the purpose advertisement, recruitment, funding, intellectual engagement, all the above, or something else? Is the targeted population local (unlikely), regional, and/or strategic? You get the idea for the other questions.<br />- Bottom line. Do not look at this report through your own eyes. Look at it from our enemy's point of view and my bet is that this makes perfect sense and is having an effect that exceeds any negative costs.
